Cats mostly live indoors and are generally kept relatively clean. Washing once every 2-3 months is enough. There are usually two bathing methods: wet cleaning and dry cleaning: wet cleaning, the water temperature should be controlled at about 40 degrees Celsius. When it enters the water, gently sprinkle water on its body with your hands. After the fur is soaked, use dog and cat shampoo to scrub the fur. Wash the back half of the body and dirty areas first, such as the limbs, the lower end of the tail, around the anus, and the lower abdomen, and finally wash the head and ears. Rinse the shampoo with clean water, otherwise it may cause skin diseases. After washing, dry the hair with a dry bath towel. If you use a hair dryer, pay attention to the distance and position of the blow dryer to avoid scorching their fur. You can comb it while blowing it, so that the hair will not clump together. When washing the cat's head, hold the cat's nose upward and hold it tightly to prevent shampoo from flowing into the eyes. Particular attention needs to be paid to preventing sewage and cleaning agents from flowing into the ears. Don't let shampoo irritate its eyes. For dry cleaning, use special cleaning powder or water, sprinkle it on the hair and scrub it. Dry cleaning is usually used for cats less than 4 months old or those who are not suitable for water baths and are prone to colds.
Sprinkle dry cleaning powder on the hair and scrub it for 15 to 20 minutes. The dry cleaning powder should be completely removed. When removing these dry cleaning powders, rub against the direction of the fur and be careful not to let the powder fly into the cat's eyes or nostrils. It is best not to use the dry cleaning method for a long time. Cats over 4 months old should be bathed with water regularly. Cat's nails are the best weapons for climbing, hunting and defense. Usually cats will constantly look for rough surfaces to grind their claws. In addition to using scratches to mark their territory, they also need to peel off the outer layer of the front end of their nails in this way to expose the sharper new layer underneath. Grinding claws is an instinct for cats, and they use this method to "maintain" their nails. Most cats can take care of their nails on their own, but if the nails grow too fast and too long, it can cause a lot of trouble and even cause disease. If we spend a little time every week trimming our cats' nails, we can also alleviate their urge to scratch furniture. When cutting nails, gently press the cat's paws to expose the nails from the paws. Just cut off the transparent horny part at the front end. Be sure not to touch the pink tender meat. There are many peripheral nerves there. If the fingers are connected to the heart, the cat will be in great pain. Sharp, specialized nail clippers should be used. Your cat's tolerance for this is limited, so it's best to get it all done before it starts to get upset. If you become irritable after only trimming one or two claws, be sure to let it go. Don’t let the cat associate nail trimming with being forced to avoid future troubles. If you can give them some small praise and rewards after trimming their nails, cats will quickly adapt. Grooming Cats are very demanding animals and they spend a lot of time cleaning themselves carefully every day. Owners need to be patient to help them groom and keep them clean. Generally, short-haired cats can do it twice a week, but long-haired cats need to spend more time taking care of them. Grooming not only keeps the coat clean, tidy and smooth, but it also helps remove shed hair and dead skin, helps promote blood circulation and strengthens muscles.

The care method is as follows: The most effective method is to brush your teeth. Your veterinarian can tell you how to brush your cat's teeth regularly, using a toothbrush and toothpaste designed specifically for your cat. Here are two methods of brushing teeth: 1. Use a soft towel or sterilized gauze to clean the cat’s teeth, then use cotton wool soaked in garlic juice to rub the teeth and gums. If there is residual food left between the teeth, you can use tweezers to pinch it. out. Using mouth freshener, adding a small amount to your cat's drinking water every day can also help clean the mouth. 2. If there is tartar on the teeth, please take it to a professional animal hospital for examination and ask a doctor to treat it. 3. Pay attention to a balanced diet for cats, and prepare food according to their breed and age. A balanced diet provides the calcium and phosphorus necessary for dental health. It is best not to feed bones to your dog as this may damage their teeth, causing cracks and causing pain. 4. Feed cats as little soft food as possible. Except for special circumstances, it is not recommended to eat canned food or soak dry food in water for a long time. If cats eat thin and soft food for a long time, the teeth of older cats are easy to loosen, and food residues are easy to be deposited in the gaps between the teeth to breed bacteria. Cleaning the ears: Cats’ ear canals tend to accumulate wax, dirt or moisture. If not removed regularly, it can easily cause ear canal inflammation, so daily cleaning of the ears is very important. When cleaning the ear canal, be sure to use special ear cleaner instead of water. You can ask a professional veterinarian to demonstrate specific operations. There are many ear diseases. If you take medication without diagnosis, it can easily cause many complications. You should consult a professional veterinarian in time. Cleaning the Eyes There is often some secretion stuck in the corner of the eye or flowing to the lower eyelid. In most cases, just wipe it off gently with a wet cotton ball or paper towel. Be careful not to use the same cotton ball to clean both eyes to avoid cross-infection.
